No. of carrot sticks=75

No. of celery sticks=40

No. of snack bags= HCF of 75 and 40

75=3*5*5

40=2*2*2*5

HCF=5

So maximum no. of snack bags that can be made is 5


Hope it helps you:)

Given : You are making snack bags to sell at the fair .  each bag to contain the same combination of carrot and celery sticks. 75 carrot sticks and 40 celery sticks

To find : greatest number of snack bags   that can be made

Solution:

To find the  greatest number of snack bags

We need to find HCF ( Highest Common Factor ) of 75 carrot sticks and 40 celery sticks

75 = 3 *  5 * 5

40 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 5

only Common factor is 5

=> HCF of 75 & 40 is 5

greatest number of snack bags   that can be made = 5
